3 takeaways from Dan Quinn at NFC coaches breakfast

Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn spoke with media today at the NFC coaches breakfast as part of the NFL owners meetings in Arizona.

Here are a few takeaways from what Quinn had to say.

1. Misery loves company

On the subject of how to recover from his team’s Super Bowl LI collapse, Quinn told reporters he’s spoken with Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona, both of whom blew 3-1 championship leads last year:

Quinn also told the pool that part of the strategy for getting over the epic loss was to reset and “make the big things small again.” What does that mean, exactly? First and foremost, it means re-focusing on winning the NFC South division again in 2017:
